Are You Lonesome Tonight Lyrics

[Elvis Presley]

[Are You Lonesome Tonight]

Are you lonesome tonight,

Do you miss me tonight?

Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Does your memory stray

To a bright summer day

When I kissed you

And called you sweetheart?

Seem empty and bare?

Do the chairs in your parlor

Do you gaze at your doorstep

And picture me there?

Is your heart filled with pain

Shall I come back again?

Tell me dear

Are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight

You know someone said that the world's a stage

And each must play a part.

Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.

Act one was when we met

I loved you at first glance

You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue

Then came act two

Using the change you acted strange

And why I'll never know.

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me

And I had no cause to doubt.

But I'd really go on hearing your lies

Than go on living without you.

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there

With emptiness all around

And if you won't come back to me

Then they can bring the curtain down.
